Alien Skin Exposure 4 Plug-In Now Available for Photoshop and Lightroom

Exposure, the Photoshop and Lightroom
plug-in from Alien Skin, is getting a significant update when
February rolls around. You'll get plenty of new effects, but one of
the biggest boosts is speed.

"This is the most significant
update to Exposure since its creation," says Tom Welsh, who
designed Exposure, "Across the board everything is faster and
much easier to use." One prime example is the ability to mouse
over a preset for a thumbnail preview - no need to select and apply
the preset before knowing whether you like it or not.

In addition to the regular assortment
of effects emulating film and lo-fi cameras, Alien Skin has added
brand new texture overlays. These new overlays are made from "high
resolution photos of light leaks, dust and scratches, and borders,"
and add plenty of realism to your effects.

You can pick up Exposure 4 next month
when it launches at $249. If you bought Exposure 3 in November of
2011 or later, you'll be getting Exposure 4 absolutely free.
